Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Dean
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
For a kitchen near Old Dean, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Old Dean
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. A planned visit to Old Dean fits your hours; an emergency does not.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why Old Dean businesses choose us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Old Dean
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Old Dean. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Surrey Heath council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Dean. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Collingwood College or anywhere near Old Dean, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Hall kitchens near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Old Dean may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 2.4 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What else we do in Old Dean
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Old Dean
Will you come out to Old Dean?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can school kitchens in Old Dean be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 16 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Old Dean. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Mention any increase in cooking
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Everything the job in Old Dean needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
